Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, and at least two.

[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connect", "connect", "fixed" and other such terms should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part.

[0030] This utility model provides a refrigeration device. Figures 1 to 10 An embodiment according to the present invention is shown.

[0031] In this embodiment, the refrigeration device is a refrigerator. It should be noted that although this utility model is described using a refrigerator as an example, it is not limited to this and can also be other devices that can provide refrigeration function.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigeration equipment includes an inner liner 1, a decorative strip 2 disposed on the inner side of the inner liner 1 and extending longitudinally, and an installation strip 3 disposed on the outer side of the inner liner 1 and extending longitudinally.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3 are arranged vertically. The decorative strip 2 is attached to the inner wall of the inner liner 1, and the mounting strip 3 is attached to the corresponding position on the outer wall of the inner liner 1.

[0034] The inner liner 1 includes a first sidewall 11, a second sidewall 12, and a third sidewall 13, which together form a cavity with an opening facing the door of the refrigeration equipment. The third sidewall 13 faces the door of the refrigeration equipment, and the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12 are arranged opposite each other and are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the third sidewall 13.

[0035] The decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3 are disposed together on the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 near the opening of the refrigeration equipment. Of course, in some other embodiments, the decorative strip 2 can also be installed on one side wall of the inner liner 1 or other positions of the inner liner 1 where the decorative strip 2 needs to be installed, depending on actual needs. This embodiment takes the decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3 disposed together on the first side wall 11 as an example for specific explanation.

[0036] The inner liner 1 is also provided with a punch 14, the mounting strip 3 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 5, and the decorative strip 2 is provided with a snap-holding structure 4. The snap-holding structure 4 is engaged with the mounting strip 3 through the punch 14 to fix the decorative strip 2 to the inner liner 1.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, multiple perforations 14 are provided in conjunction with the retaining structure 4 and the snap-fit ​​structure 5, and are provided through the inner liner 1 along the thickness direction of the inner liner 1. The retaining structure 4 and the snap-fit ​​structure 5 can pass through the perforations 14 of the inner liner 1 and engage with each other, so that the decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3 remain relatively fixed. The decorative strip 2 is fixed on the inner side wall of the inner liner 1, and the mounting strip 3 is fixed on the outer side wall of the inner liner 1.

[0038] During installation, the installation strip 3 can be pre-installed on the outside of the inner liner 1 during the foaming process. When assembling the decorative strip 2, it is only necessary to match and snap the retaining structure 4 of the decorative strip 2 with the snap-fit ​​structure 5 of the installation strip 3 to fix the decorative strip 2 to the inner wall of the inner liner 1 in one step. The installation steps are few and the operation is simple.

[0039] Compared to the traditional method of fixing the decorative strip 2 to the inner liner 1 with screws, in this utility model, the decorative strip 2 only needs to be interlocked with the retaining structure 4 and the interlocking structure 5. The decorative strip 2 will not have an untidy appearance due to the screw holes being exposed on the outside of the decorative strip 2. Moreover, the interlocking method is simpler and more convenient than the screw method. It does not involve a large amount of assembly materials, can shorten the assembly time, and effectively improve the assembly efficiency.

[0040] Optionally, the decorative strip 2 is provided with a mounting groove 23 opening towards the inner liner 1, and the retaining structure 4 is disposed within the mounting groove 23. The mounting groove 23 allows the retaining structure 4 to be enclosed within the space formed by the mounting groove 23 and the inner wall of the inner liner 1 during installation of the decorative strip 2, maintaining the neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the decorative strip 2. The groove edge of the mounting groove 23 abuts against the inner wall of the inner liner 1 to ensure a tight seal.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 5 includes a first snap-fit ​​portion 51 and a second snap-fit ​​portion 52 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting strip 3. In this embodiment, the decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3 are elongated, so the first snap-fit ​​portion 51 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 52 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting strip 3.

[0042] The retaining structure 4 includes a first retaining part 41 and a second retaining part 42 respectively disposed on both sides of the decorative strip 2. The first retaining part 41 and the second retaining part 42 respectively cooperate with the first engaging part 51 and the second engaging part 52.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first holding part 41 is provided on the first side 21 of the decorative strip 2; the second holding part 42 is provided on the second side 22 of the decorative strip 2, so the first engaging part 51 engages with the first holding part 41 on the first side 21 of the decorative strip 2; the second engaging part 52 engages with the second holding part 42 on the second side 22 of the decorative strip 2.

[0044] During installation, simply engage the first retaining part 41 of the decorative strip 2 with the first engaging part 51 on the first side 21, and then apply external force to rotate the decorative strip 2 so that the second retaining part 42 engages with the first engaging part 51 on the second side 22, which is the opposite side of the first side 21. In this way, both sides of the decorative strip 2 can be securely engaged with the mounting strip 3, enhancing the overall connection strength between the decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3, and ensuring that the decorative strip 2 is stably fixed on the inner liner 1.

[0045] In addition, the first snap-fit ​​portion 51 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 52 are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting strip 3, which allows the first snap-fit ​​portion 41 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 42 of the decorative strip 2 to be installed diagonally. This allows the decorative strip 2 to be fixed more evenly, and also reduces the rotation angle of the decorative strip 2 when external force is applied during installation, making installation easier.

[0046] The first latching part 51 and the second latching part 52 can be provided in one or more according to the length of the mounting strip 3 or actual needs. The first holding part 41 and the second holding part 42 can be provided in one or more in conjunction with the first latching part 51 and the second latching part 52.

[0047] The number of the first latching portion 51 and the second latching portion 52, and their positions along the extension direction of the mounting strip 3, are not limited here. Of course, the first latching portion 51 and the second latching portion 52 are provided in correspondence with the first holding portion 41 and the second holding portion 42, that is, it is sufficient to ensure that the first latching portion 51 and the second latching portion 52 can be latched one-to-one with the first holding portion 41 and the second holding portion 42.

[0048] Reference Figures 4 to 8 In this embodiment, multiple first latching portions 51 and second latching portions 52 are provided, spaced apart from one end of the mounting strip 3 along its extension direction to the other end. Multiple first latching portions 41 and second latching portions 42 are correspondingly provided on the decorative strip 2. Thus, the decorative strip 2 can completely and tightly fit against the inner wall of the inner liner 1, better preventing internal cold air leakage.

[0049] Specifically, the first holding part 41 has a plug 411, and the first snap-fit ​​part 51 has a flange 511 on one side edge near the first holding part 41. A first gap 512 is formed between the flange 511 and the mounting strip 3. The plug 411 is inserted into the first gap 512 and abuts against the flange 511.

[0050] The second latching part 52 has a pressing edge 521 on one side edge near the second latching part 42, and the second latching part 42 has a hook 421 bent toward the pressing edge 521, which engages with the pressing edge 521.

[0051] In this embodiment, the hook 421 has a main body portion 4211 protruding toward the inner liner 1 and a bent portion 4212 bending from the end of the main body portion 4211 toward the pressing edge 521. The bent portion 4212 abuts against the pressing edge 521, and the side edge of the pressing edge 521 near one end of the hook 421 abuts against the main body portion 4211.

[0052] During installation, firstly, insert the plug 411 of the first side 21 of the decorative strip 2 into the first gap 512 and abut against the flange 511 of the first snap-fit ​​part 51 to fix the first side 21 of the decorative strip 2, and at the same time determine the relative positional relationship between the decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3; then apply external force to rotate the decorative strip 2 parallel to the side wall of the inner liner 1, so that the hook 421 of the second side 22 of the decorative strip 2 has enough space to snap into the pressing edge 521; after the hook 421 snaps into the pressing edge 521, rotate the decorative strip 2 to return to its original position, so that the hook 421 clamps the pressing edge 521, and the decorative strip 2 is also snapped into the mounting strip 3 on the second side 22, which can prevent the decorative strip 2 from moving left or right or tilting, and improve the stability of the decorative strip 2.

[0053] Reference Figures 5 to 8 In one specific embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​portion 51 includes a first interface groove 513 with an opening facing the inner liner 1, and the first snap-hold portion 41 passes through the punch 14 and is inserted into the first interface groove 513.

[0054] In this embodiment, the flange 511 extends vertically from the edge of the first interface groove 513 near the plug 411 towards the inside of the groove. The flange 511 cooperates with the bottom of the first interface groove 513 to form the first gap 512. The plug 411 protrudes cylindrically from the bottom of the mounting groove 23 toward the inner liner 1, passes through the punch 14, inserts into the first gap 512, and abuts against the bottom of the first interface groove 513.

[0055] Optionally, the plug 411 has an inner groove 412 with an opening facing the flange 511. The inner groove 412 is located on the side of the plug 411 and has a one-way opening facing the flange 511, so that the flange 511 can be inserted into the inner groove 412. At the same time, it also allows the head of the plug 411 to extend into the first gap 512 and abut against the corner of the first interface groove 513, forming a structure in which the first snap-fit ​​part 51 and the first snap-holding part 41 are locked together, which is more stable and not easy to separate.

[0056] The second snap-fit ​​portion 52 includes a second interface groove 523 with an opening facing the inner liner 1, and the second snap-hold portion 42 passes through the punch 14 and is inserted into the second interface groove 523.

[0057] In this embodiment, the pressing edge 521 extends vertically from the edge of the second interface groove 523 near the hook 421 toward the inside of the groove, and the pressing edge 521 cooperates with the bottom of the second interface groove 523 to form all the second gaps 522.

[0058] The main body 4211 of the hook 421 passes through the punch 14, the bent part 4212 is inserted into the second gap 522 and abuts against the pressing edge 521, and the edge of the pressing edge 521 extending towards the slot abuts against the main body 4211, that is, the hook 421 is engaged with the pressing edge 521.

[0059] Since the flange 511 and the pressing edge 521 extend in opposite directions on both sides of the mounting strip 3, when the plug 411 engages with the flange 511 and the hook 421 engages with the pressing edge 521, both sides of the decorative strip 2 can be clamped simultaneously, preventing the decorative strip 2 from moving left or right.

[0060] Reference Figures 9 to 10 In another embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​portion 51 includes a first protrusion 514 protruding toward the inner liner 1. The first protrusion 514 extends through the punch 14 into the inner liner 1, and the first snap-fit ​​portion 41 engages with the first protrusion 514.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first protrusion 514 extends in a columnar shape toward the inner liner 1 at the middle part of the mounting strip 3 in the transverse direction, and the flange 511 extends vertically from the end of the first protrusion 514 toward the plug 411. The flange 511 forms a first gap 512 with the mounting strip 3.

[0062] The plug 411 is close to the first side 21 of the decorative strip 2 and extends vertically inward from the groove wall of the mounting groove 23. When the first retaining part 41 engages with the first engaging part 51 on the first side 21, the plug 411 is inserted into the first gap 512 from the side of the first protrusion 514. Furthermore, the plug 411 has a stepped surface 4111 parallel to the flange 511, and the stepped surface 4111 abuts against the flange 511.

[0063] The second locking part 52 includes a second protrusion 524 protruding toward the inner liner 1. The second protrusion 524 also extends through the punch 14 into the inner liner 1. The second locking part 42 engages with the second protrusion 524.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second protrusion 524 is also located in the middle part of the horizontal direction of the mounting strip 3, on the same axis as the first protrusion 514, and protrudes in a columnar shape toward the inner liner 1. The pressing edge 521 extends vertically from the end of the second protrusion 524 toward the hook 421. The pressing edge 521 forms a third gap 525 with the mounting strip 3.

[0065] The hook 421 is located on the second side 22 of the decorative strip 2 and is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove 23. The main body 4211 passes through the punch 14, the bent part 4212 is inserted into the third gap 525 and abuts against the pressing edge 521. The edge of the pressing edge 521 extending toward the hook 421 abuts against the main body 4211, that is, the hook 421 is engaged with the pressing edge 521.

[0066] Since the flange 511 and the pressing edge 521 extend in opposite directions in the middle of the mounting strip 3, when the plug 411 and the hook 421 engage with the flange 511 and the pressing edge 521 on the opposite side, both sides of the decorative strip 2 can be clamped at the same time, preventing the decorative strip 2 from moving left and right.

[0067] In addition, the mounting strip 3 is provided with at least one positioning protrusion 31, and the inner liner 1 is provided with at least one positioning through hole 15 corresponding to each of the at least one positioning protrusion 31, and the at least one positioning protrusion 31 extends into the at least one positioning through hole 15 corresponding to it.

[0068] Before the housing is foamed, the positioning protrusion 31 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning through hole 15 to pre-install the mounting part on the outside of the inner liner 1. This allows the positioning through hole 15 on the inner liner 1 to determine the installation position of the mounting strip 3 during assembly. This makes it easier to directly snap the decorative strip 2 and the mounting strip 3 together when installing the decorative strip 2, without the need for an additional positioning installation process.

[0069] Optionally, when fixing the mounting strip 3, sealing tape is applied around the mounting strip 3 on the outside of the inner liner to fix the mounting strip 3 and stick it tightly to the outer wall of the inner liner 1. This can prevent the foaming material from overflowing through the gap between the mounting strip 3 and the inner liner 1 during the foaming process of the box.

[0070] In summary, the refrigeration equipment provided by this utility model uses a retaining structure on the inner decorative strip and a snap-fit ​​structure on the outer mounting strip of the inner liner. The retaining structure engages with the snap-fit ​​structure through a punch in the inner liner, thus fixing the decorative strip to the inner liner. This method is simpler and more convenient than screw fixing, does not involve a large amount of assembly materials, can shorten assembly time, and effectively improve assembly efficiency.
